2023 Employee Benefits Medical/Prescription Review - City of Middleburg Heights
Prepared by: The Fedeli Group
Submitted: November 4, 2022
Overview of Request for Proposals
The Fedeli Group received the January 1, 2023 medical and prescription renewal for the self-funded plan.
In anticipation of the renewal, our firm prepared a comprehensive Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking
competitive options from stop-loss insurers.
The purpose of this report is to summarize the renewal and offer a recommendation.
Medical Mutual’s initial renewal included a 2.5% increase for administration. This increase is consistent
with other Medical Mutual renewals. The initial stop-loss increase was 16.3%. The total fixed cost increase
was 13.8%. The overall increase, at the maximum claims level, with fixed costs is an adjustment of6.8%.
Fedeli was able to negotiate a better renewal with Medical Mutual for stop loss using competitive proposals
from Berkley, Berkshire Hathaway, and Sun Life Financial. While all three insurers proposed savings, the
offers are not firm. In addition, using a third party stop loss vendor carries certain disadvantages:
• $5 PEPM outside stop loss administration fee charged by Medical Mutual
• No immediate claim takeover -the City would fund full claim and submit for reimbursement
• Manual pharmacy, stop loss claim reconciliation
The Fedeli Group used the competitive proposals to arrive at a more appropriate stop loss offer from
Medical Mutual. MMO has agreed to revise the renewal adjustment from 16.3% to 9%. With the revision,
the total fixed costs will increase 7.7% compared to 13.8%. The total plan adjustment with fixed costs and
maximum claims is an increase of 5.4%. The recommended increase is much lower than regional norms.
Recommendation
The Fedeli Group recommends the City of Middleburg Heights renew with Medical Mutual for
administration and stop loss, dental administration, and vision administration.
